Dude just use pliers on the stripped screws. Or use a small file and file a line on the head so you can use a flathead and make salvaging easier. ❤

[@zonewolf]

Fucking love it dude, carrying all the energy for us right now.

[@riofpv]

hi, to remove the screws you have to cut them with a dremel, so you can unscrew them with a flat screwdriver

That or if they are sticking out like his I’ve used needle nose vise grips and it’s worked well

Here in Canada the 5" is over our 250g "restriction" and makes them harder to find good spots to fly. My buddy and I have been flying 3 and now 3.5" for a couple years now. 5" inch is awesome and all but collecting dust. A Grinderino is now on my build list for 2024. Keep up the awesome content!!!

I have been using the binding phrase with all my quads and transmitters on ELRS (micro, all the way to 7") so regardless of the radio I brought with me (RM pocket, qx7 with Betafpv module, or RM boxer), everything just works. My favorite way to go out is with a micro or 2, my Grinderino, and then one of my 5" quads.

[@LehtusBphree2flyFPV]

I've been flying your rates from NF and I have to say I really love those rates. We need an update video on the FPV PARK and let's get people from the community to donate some supply and heavy equipment labor and other volunteers to get this park going. Izzy is an amazing friend of yours and he's told us your working on it but to cold right now. We have faith in you.

[@NOT_ANOTHER_FPV]

I like making videos that nobody else has done before...flying like nobody else...and not giving two fucks....with that said I feel like shit today

[@NOT_ANOTHER_FPV]

I also don't understand why people don't upload 100% of their runs and just edit the better parts....I never cared about cutting stuff out as every second I fly is worth uploading no matter how shitty I do. so yeah I wish people liked my stuff but that's not going happen I think. I have to get out of this mindset.

[@FPZzzz]

Hope you feel better Dude!

[@BOTGRINDER]

Because there's 10000000 videos of entire flights, editing a run like a skate video is alot more exciting to people. Hope you feel better though homie.

[@NOT_ANOTHER_FPV]

Hey I give people props for having the time to edit :) I didn't get any sleep really last night and was a bit negative :) Maybe some day I'll get this damn ADHD taken care so I can sit down and do my own edits :) I respect what you said so thank you :) Now only getting more sleep so maybe I can function normally :) today was a great day at the hills have eyes spot....crashed a bunch....got super high(in the air) and just had a great time as always. Thanks guys for keeping FPV alive and dealing with me through some tough times :) As I know we all go through our own drama we call life. As I say it's full send or no send...Fly for yourself and nobody else! And have fun while doing it! @@BOTGRINDER

[@Soulsurferfpv]

I like 2.5" and 3" rippers. They are really fun and don't annoy anybody.

[@StoneFPV-]

I’m a big fan of the new Grinderino motors. The whole quad has been bulletproof.

[@ItsRenderInnit]

Does yours have a twirly whistle to it? I haven’t been able to tune it real good with the 3800kv motors.

Hey for those stripped bolts for the motors you could just clamp some vice grips on and spin them out!

[@carbonflightMN]

I love your shop!! I wish I had something like this. I just built my quads on my computer desk! I've dropped a couple big drops on hot lead on the mouse pad cover and made marks on the mouspad. You work fast. Building multiple quads in a day sounds like HELL to me! By the time I build one, i'm ready to jump off a bridge!

[@zakm0n]

Got out of quads because i dont have the reflexes, about to get into 3d printed small FPV fixed wing because I need some more adrenaline.

[@SkeezyFPV]

More stick time on a quad is all you need

[@zakm0n]

@@SkeezyFPV yeah, probably. I got my start with fully 3d printed frame 7s in 2015. It was super annoying having to re-print after a single firm landing. I work at an aerospace machine shop with a bunch of airplane nerds, and they got me back interested in flying. I'll probably be back on quads before too long

[@Welcome2It]

“Hopefully there’s a vtx in there” *points to random box* I felt that bro

[@hazonku]

I've been thinking about doing the exact same thing for the exact same reasons. I bought the Demibot with the intention of finally going 6S & digital but then I just never got around to it. Haven't flown in almost a year. After talking with a streamer buddy up in Canada we both came to the conclusion that having a couple of whoops and micros and maybe one 5 inch is the way to go. You can whoop anywhere and micro is all the fun of 5 inch without as much risk or cost giving you access to far mor flying locations. Having to make a day of flying 5 inch and lugging around my big Torvol bag is a pain in the ass anyway. I just wanna fly & have fun.

[@thunderdronefpv1412]

Bro . Your vids are getting a lot better. Keep on killing it

[@MericanOutlaw]

Back into it after a 5 year hiatus. I basically rebuilt 2 (minus the frames) and fixed one. Saw drainman vid on grinderino build and I think IM going to pull the trigger and bring another lil grinerino into this messed up world. 😂 I just started a youtube channel the other day - lol. So much footage to go through it’s bringing up a lot of good (and some bad) memories

[@punked6]

You can use some 6 1/2 inch locking jaw pliers to get the motor screws off ,or a dremel would work too.

[@bigdawgggbachi5394]

Big L rest in peace!

[@shadowofchaos8932]

Dead men tell no tales

[@TheEviling]

I do like the tinywhoop content, and the 5inch stuff too, it's really all about having fun and not doing the same thing over and over.

[@J-S-Films]

For the stripped bolts for those who have not upgraded them yet, definitely worth having a pair of smaller vise grips with a flat tip. Even the little micros you can usually grab onto it and break it loose without resorting to needing an easy out. The worst one I had, I just used a small bastard file to give myself a flat on either side. Came right out nice and easy. Also don't forget to swear at it during the entire process. 😉

[@DroneSkinz]

Miss this shit.....so effin much! Thanks Bot!

[@ChainsawFPV]

Whoops really are a blast. And with high KV motors freestyle is not an issue. They are so much cheaper, and can take so much more abuse.

[@glitchunicorn]

I get it! With a 5inch drone you have to really plan it out. Because how loud it is and it needs a ton of space. They are fun and all. But there is something about just flying where ever with micros.

[@philihc]

I also enjoy the micros out of that reason, don't want to stress other people, which are stressing me than back. But enjoy everytime when I use one of my 5"

[@Kleinage]

My own quads have been tiny whoops and a 3” 5-6s build I love flying. My 5” is a hand-me-down from my dad that scared me because the way it handled was so different and the analog camera sucked and vtx was very noisy. A new camera and added capacitor and suddenly I could see properly and calmed down, realized it was not at all a freestyle build, it was a race quad and all it wanted to do was race. Then I could have fun with it once I understood the design. Maybe someday I’ll give a 5” feeestyle build a chance, so many good analog or even vista 5” freestyle builds are getting offloaded for peanuts as people move toward micros and cinewhoops.

[@cnmove]

Oh my god your cat is the cutest thing ever! You gotta bring her to one of y’all’s event😂

[@derek.bodner]

Ever since the o3 came out (sorry bot), i fly my 3.5" quads more than anything else. The recording quality is good enough, it rips hard enough, it doesn't piss the Karen's off nearly as much, and it's so much easier to find places to fly. It's the sweet spot for me, and because of that i fly much more regularly than when i relied on my 5" for freestyle.

[@BOTGRINDER]

Bro 3.5 is kinda perfect right?

[@Poke-Joe79]

Very true,3.5 is so much fun and with some 6s 750mah packs I got I'm getting like nine minutes of flight time with a speedybee 20×20 stack and 3000kv motors.

[@CloneTechDrones-619]

That first quad that you flew might need some better soft mounts or anti vibration screws for controller/esc stack to see if that gets rid of the unexpected flight behavior it gave you.

[@crazicat]

Good job Bot. Last year I stopped building anything over 250 grams and loving it.

I'm guessing Phillydronelife's recent fine from the faa is making you lean towards the sub 250g stuff for youtube vids.. It's not a bad idea, honestly. Micro's are just as fun or possibly more fun then 5" drones.

[@BOTGRINDER]

You know I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about that, while it's not really a driving force it's a convenient bonus on top of everything else.

[@skyrotfpv]

Great to see you flying this spot again. The 2306 motors looked pretty weak but are probably cool to just cruise around. Great video! 😀

[@PropCrash]

I fly my micro's around my (tiny) house almost daily. Challenges galore. If there's any goals I think you should have, You gotta make some Grinderino motors . I love my Grinderino 💯but motor options are limited. Another great idea is durable tiny whoop motors and frames for bashing. I'm tired of changing out frames boss, dog tired.

[@TheDarkstar826]

I been using my RadioMaster Pocket alot as well. I could tell you this. My racing time went from 1m 52s to 58sec on my 5 inch drone. Now I'm doing trippy spin perfect on my small radio. Also, the battery last longer than my full size radio. It's currently my main radio now. I don't know why people treat it as a Tinywhoop radio. This radio got potential.

Vicegrips for those screws. Mini vicegrips are one of the best tools you can have. Also, what’s that symptom at 8:00 ? I get that on some of my lighter builds, what’s the symptom called? What’s the fix for it?
